Grande also shared afan photo on Instagramabout it being “300 days untilWicked.”
The musician’s posts come after costarCynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba,took to Instagram on Friday to share a heartfelt message as filming came to a close.
“I’ve been trying to think of what I’d say when this day finally came, and I’m failing miserably, because honestly there aren’t enough words to fully express what this experience has meant to me, so I’ll leave you with this,” she wrote. “The universe will take things away to make space for the grand gifts it has waiting for us.”
“THIS moment, this film, these people, this cast, this crew, this director, my Glinda, were the grandest gift I could ever have asked for, and I am eternally grateful for the chance to bring you This Elphie,” Erivo, 37, added alongside a photo of her character’s shadow on a stage. “I hope when you meet her, you’ll love her as much and as fiercely as I do. And with that I say, that’s a wrap for me, Elphie out!! 💚💚💚.”
Grande also shared a funny video on TikTok,showing her and Erivo in a world of their own on theWickedset.
As Grande and Erivo chatted, the person holding the camera could be heard saying: “They talk amongst themselves and don’t hear the world. Like, we could talk about them out loud, and they don’t even know what’s happening in the outside world.”
The pair finally noticed the camera, with a confused Grande asking, “What are you talking about?”
The actress captioned her post, “One of our favorite videos ever,” noting it was filmed in 2022 during rehearsals for the upcoming movies.
